French driver makes history in a Mini Cooper

French driver Guerlain Chicherit successfully flipped a Mini Countryman this weekend, marking the first time a driver has done a backflip with a car.

Monster Energy, which sponsored the event, said in a press release that Chicherit flipped the car twice – once in private and another time in front of a small group of spectators.

According to The New York Daily News, Guinness Book of World Records said it was the first car backflipped using a static ramp. Chicherit spent four years tweaking the suspension on the Countryman to survive the impact from the backflip.

“Before the jump it was crazy,” he said in the release. “I was alone in the car before the start and I just had to do it, everything was ready.”

After flipping the car, Chicherit was able to drive the car down the snowy ramp, according to a press release. No one was injured in the incident.
